Run time and cost

This model costs approximately $0.018 to run on Replicate, or 55 runs per $1, but this varies depending on your inputs. It is also open source and you can run it on your own computer with Docker.

This model runs on Nvidia A40 (Large) GPU hardware. Predictions typically complete within 26 seconds. The predict time for this model varies significantly based on the inputs.

Model Description

The Segmind Stable Diffusion Model (SSD-1B) is a distilled 50% smaller version of the Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL), offering a 60% speedup while maintaining high-quality text-to-image generation capabilities. It has been trained on diverse datasets, including Grit and Midjourney scrape data, to enhance its ability to create a wide range of visual content based on textual prompts.

This model employs a knowledge distillation strategy, where it leverages the teachings of several expert models in succession, including SDXL, ZavyChromaXL, and JuggernautXL, to combine their strengths and produce impressive visual outputs.

Special thanks to the HF team 🤗 especially Sayak, Patrick and Poli for their collaboration and guidance on this work.
